As with most major holidays, care has to be taken when decorating or celebrating in an area that has pets. Dogs and cats are curious creatures that like to explore whatever has changed in their homes. This includes any Easter baskets that are put out to be discovered by children or lilies that are used to decorate the house.
Even on the best of days, my dog, Bailey, can go absolutely nuts when someone rings the doorbell. No matter what we try to do, he insists on barking at the front window, checking out the vehicle in the driveway and the person on the front stoop. For such a sweet puppy, he can sound pretty mean! That's why, on Halloween night, I'm going to take some safety precautions that will keep Bailey safe, as well as make trick-or-treating at our house a pleasant experience.
All Hallows' Eve is the time when everyone seems to eat more sweets than any other time of year. Between Halloween parties and trick or treating, you can find candies, cookies, and other treats anywhere you turn. However, if you have a dog, you might want to make sure these treats are either dog-friendly and/or stashed higher than your doggie's snout can reach.
